????? 'kin fannies! 

I take a cold shower most afternoons and I'm sweating like Jimmy in a disabled kids ward by the time I pick up the towel to dry off ? 

30°C is a normal day here in Barcelona, for 5 months of the year. The heat is not the issue though really, it's the humidity that kills you! Even the locals winge about it ;) Go to Lleida and you get regular temps of 40°C+ but it's dry heat and doesn't seem to drain/effect you the same.

FFS you lads don't realise how lucky you have it..........try sitting round a lake fishing the pellet waggler for carp, casting in and out every 2-3 minutes hard work in this heat ....................glad i'm on 80% of me wages for doing it, it eases the pain a bit.

F1 is at Barcelona this weekend and the teams are worried with concerns that the tyres will blister like they did at the weekend at Silverstone. 

I don't think it's going to be that hot tbh but if it is can see it being fun.

Thanks. 

Is it all computerised

Brother in law is a welder, making parts for fire engines and ambulances. 

He hates it, stuck in a small cubicle all day everyday

Yes basically but it’s not case of just slinging pipes an fittings in and pushing the button as the welds can miss or sink ,very temperature sensitive, nightmare after lunch break . 

We do hydraulic an brake lines for caterpillar an jcb an they just started doing   Parts for some Russian bulldozer company .

no cubicles or open plan but they don’t want you wandering away from work station unless it’s toilet break .

It is that hot! Right now we having a weird heat wave, the air temp is high but so is the humidity and it is really uncomfortable.

Been a couple of times to the F1 here, won't be going this year though but not because of the heat ;)

Not counting for spikes and individual areas, sounds right.. Come here and walk on the beach barefoot lol. I have to put socks on the dickhead, everytime we go to the beach. Otherwise he walks like John Cleese ?

P.s. the F1 track is further inland and on the other side of the mountains/hills that surround BCN. The humidity isn't trapped,  so the track will and does get fuuckin hot ;)
